Trump Media pitched $100,000 monthly fee for fast feed of president’s posts
Six-figure sum sought for high-speed access to president’s posts as US markets rise on Beijing summit

Trump Media has quoted a six-figure sum for high-speed access to its Truth Social platform, according to a report by the Financial Times. The specific fee proposed is $100,000 per month, which the company describes as providing a "fast feed" of the president’s posts.

The disclosure comes as US equity markets posted gains linked to the commencement of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.8 per cent, the S&P 500 climbed 0.3 per cent, and the Nasdaq Composite increased by 0.2 per cent.

The report indicates that the six-figure quote is intended to secure expedited delivery of content from the platform. However, the source material does not detail the specific technical features or infrastructure upgrades included in the "high-speed access" arrangement.

It remains unclear whether this $100,000 monthly rate represents a standard commercial pricing structure for enterprise clients or a preliminary quote subject to negotiation. The Financial Times notes the proposal without providing further details on uptake or the broader financial implications for Trump Media.

The announcement coincides with broader market activity driven by the diplomatic engagement in China. While the equity markets responded positively to the start of the summit, the specific commercial terms of the Truth Social access fee stand as a distinct development in the company’s revenue strategy.
